Pleater Board for Shibori

Here is a site that gives you instructions for making a pleater board to make pleats for dyeing. Remember a couple of Charlene's pieces were pleated before wrapping and dyeing. I also have some gorgeous silk ribbon that was pleated then dyed by Shibori Girl. Anyway, sounds like a lot of work (not tried it) but once it is made, you can use and reuse and re-reuse it.
